You Are Loved!

To all of you who suffer from depression and anxiety. I want to tell you. I sincerely love you. I know that sounds unreal, but I do. I have had depression and anxiety since I was 15 years old. I am now 25 and finally at the place that I dreamed of everyday for all those years. After 10 years I have discovered the real cause of my depression and anxiety and am finally ready to heal. No one can give you answer. You need to find people who are willing to support you but no one can answer your questions for you. No one can make sense of it but you. Now, don't get me wrong, I know all the problems standing in the way of healing. The excuses, the fear. I will pray that you can see past all that and take responsibility for your life. No one can replace YOU, you are genuine and one of a kind. I know the hurt and pain you feel, it truly is tormenting. But please.....I have survived to tell you: all the things you want and need are available. God truly is real and loves you, I dont care if you are religious or not. You dont have to be, the fact is there is a God and he stands ready and willing to help. I have been through some traumatic experiences you would not believe, regarding EVERYTHING in my life. When it rains it pours. I have been through A LOT. Just like all of you, but my story is very unique and my suffering exquisite. I have finally reached that place I've been dreaming of. I know you long to get to that point too, and it hurts while you wait and suffer. But please be gentle with yourself, its okay that you arent there right now- it took me 10 years!!! Take little steps to help yourself and pray. You will see that life is truly a gift that needs you to be opened. I love you and understand. Please don't give up. You can overcome this.

Well, i have never really talked about my issues but lately i need to do something. I figure if I could get some words out i might make some sense out of what I'm feeling. I have had anxiety and depression for the past 5 or so years. My anxiety is to the point where i can't go...
